My Love Was a Lass from Shadowdale

Raucous sea shanty with a clear bass voice, accompanied by a rhythmic mouth harp, Bold and defiant, with a stripped-down maritime feel, perfect for taverns or ship decks, ‑Polka, ‑modern

by: Unknown date: Early 14th Century source: The Ring of Winter My love was a lass from Shadowdale, A beauty with hair of silver. A pirate from Presper stole her away. The sea take all pirates from Presper, brave boys, The sea take the pirates of Presper. [Chorus] The sea’s my love, the sea’s my life, No turning back, no land, no wife. She’ll hold me close, she’ll take my breath, The sea’s my love in life and death! My love was a lass from Marsember, And we were to wed last Mirtul. A whaler from Westgate stole her away. The sea take all whalers from Westgate, brave boys, The sea take the whalers of Westgate. [Chorus] The sea’s my love, the sea’s my life, No turning back, no land, no wife. She’ll hold me close, she’ll take my breath, The sea’s my love in life and death! My love was a lass from Luskan, A beauty with eyes of green. A captain of Calimport stole her away. The sea take all captains from Calimport, brave boys, The sea take the captains of Calimport. My love was a lass from Baldur's Gate, A beauty with skin of gold. A trader from Tethyr stole her away. The sea take all traders from Tethyr, brave boys, The sea take the traders of Tethyr. [Chorus] The sea’s my love, the sea’s my life, No turning back, no land, no wife. She’ll hold me close, she’ll take my breath, The sea’s my love in life and death!
